Best software/technique for even lighting on photogrammetry assets.

JamesQuall · Jun 2018

Was just wondering what everyone uses or if anyone knows a quick way in photoshop to do this. There's always shadows and Agisoft offers an option to do it with the professional version which is over $1k. I'm willing to pay, but that's a little outside of my range just for that feature. I have access to photoshop/modo/shadermap4/Quixel. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I heard that Adobe Lightroom is really good.

Doesn't Unity have a delighting toolkit?

I tried some delighting tools (Lightroom, PS, Substance) for photogrammetry and I have to say the Unity tool was making best results in case, you will provide all the maps. Only disadvantage is that the solution is not standalone application - you will need to download whole Unity engine to just run their toolkit. I'm really looking forward for Substance Alchemist where should be AI driven delighting.

I use ue4 so assume Unity is just for importing within that engine? Or does is straight up edit the texture to be imported elsewhere?

@JamesQuall I'm not 100% as I use UE4 as well. But I would certainly think you can export the edited textures. Definitely worth looking into.

Yeah, I watched a demo and the results were very impressive.

And this functionality is free? I mean Unity IS free in its basic version, which DOES (?) provide this delighting toolkit...? So is ifree?

According to git repository, it's free.
